Weapons and armor are more important than your build. Try and find a weapon that scales well with your build.
Yeah, they're still there. Stacking was also conceptualised during the Amnesia Fortnight period but its prototype wasn't included in the bundle.

Source?
Ignoring the fact that rule is completely wrong, how do you account for the two releases between Windows 7 and Threshold?

They will, don't worry.
By that logic 8.1 is win.
Are we counting the upcoming update (that restores the Start menu)? Not sure myself.

Good. Because I got a lot of them.
State of Decay?

I got all of them, but I bought the game a while back and there is no way you can do it in a weekend without hating yourself.
Yeah that's it, thanks! I kept thinking "Dead State", but was like "no...that's not quite it".
Yup.
All this news of Rust and DayZ made me crave a similar game, but SP.
Ah...I probably misread it then. Or was being overly optimistic.

There won't be an update for 8 that brings back the start menu, only a small rollup/service pack in a few months.
State of Decay? But that's already out.
Cheddahz I have no idea how you found it right away. I was gonna post something along the lines of 'oh, you're talking about that singleplayer zombie game, yeah, it should be no problem finding it as it's such a rare theme'
My bad!
I got all of them, but I bought the game a while back and there is no way you can do it in a weekend without hating yourself.
I didn't get them all, but I did get to level 50, finished the main story line, did all the world events, and all the side missions except the loyalty missions.
I don't hate myself. That game was like sweet, sweet candy.
It's cool! My dad got it for the 360 when it first came out and he told me that he enjoyed it, so that was the first thing that came to mind when I thought "single player zombie game"
Stats matter in that it prevents me from getting co-op partners or invasions though, and a friend told me not to level over 99 or else something will be significantly harder later on. He might have been wrong, he also intentionally baited me with the info that I'd get the armor from whoever I killed last between S&O, knowing I'd try the harder fight because of that.
Also, advice to sit for a few hours and grind is the reason I quit this game initially. I was told that you pretty much were required to farm mindlessly to get souls for a long time and that's just about the absolute worst bit of game design you can have. Luckily that advice was either terrible or I'm just so bad at the game that I'm naturally replaying areas to farm without needing to go out of the way to do it.

If they are sticking with the "one OS for all devices" mentality hopefully they implement 100% of what this guy designed:

Microsoft should take notes on designing for user experience and user processes. This guy nailed it.
Check out The Forest preview on Eurogamer.

How come SP? Don't want to stumble upon a mass suicide or be endlessly tortured by running into the wrong group?
hm. Yeah, I see your point
Ya the mummy and crush traps are a pain i always take them out immediately if i'm lucky enough to have bombs.

The challenges achievement is the worst part. There are a number that require stupid amounts of grinding.
Yeah, because, humans. In a real life survival scenario, I don't know that I believe that humans would resort to endless trolling and griefing, vs banding together for survival. So in that sense, humans in an anonymous, online environment behave less realistically than AI. There's also plenty of human behavior stuff that goes on in MMORPGs that I consider immersion-breaking, and which make me gravitate towards games like The Elder Scrolls instead (and I don't mean ESO).
Will keep tabs on this one -- thanks.

I don't know what to think of the Ninty situation. Not really sure why there's such a knee jerk reaction against them getting out of the hardware business like SEGA (I can't see the downside for me as a PC-only gamer).

That looks awesome.
The survival aspect really intrigues me but I can't stand jump scares (sudden loud noises, a figure lunging at you from nowhere, and so on). Not because they don't faze me -- the opposite, in fact, and I hate myself for it.

I wonder if this will come to Steam. It's been up on GamersGate for months but there have been zero rumblings about a Steam release.
Edit: Reef now has a presence on the store with the recently-released Captain Morgane so perhaps Rambo will pop up soon.

Is that a PS2 game?

It's a shame we'll never get this.
I vaguely remember a Steam logo on their site, but their release date has been slipping for over a year now...
As a 90s arcade shooter game, I could maybe see this.
But yeah, for this generation...?

Judging by the footage, it looks very much like it's been developed with mobile devices in mind. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see it crop up on iOS and Android despite being announced for PC, PS3 and 360.

Quality of the games can only go up from here.
Wait what? I don't have any context here on who these guys are.
Awesome, keep diversifying the platform.
Everything I read about The Forest just makes the game look better and better.
They brought Agarest over. (right?)

I hope they pick something better this time since I bought it solely because I wanted them to do exactly that.

I'd rather a game that isn't Agarest TBH, let's see what other jRPGs they published...
